Biography

Hugh (Rose) Rose XVIth of Kilravock is Notable.

Hugh (Rose) Rose XVIth of Kilravock is a member of Clan Rose.

Hugh Rose, later 16th of Kilravock, was born 1684 the son of Hugh Rose, 15th of Kilravock and Margaret Campbell, eldest daughter of Sir Hugh Campbell of Calder and Lady Henriette Stuart, daughter of James Earl of Muray and of Lady Margaret Home, daughter of the Earl of Home. ^[1] His parents married 19th Oct 1683. Hugh Rose was alive and consulted when the source work on the family was written (started by Hugh Rose in 1684 and completed by Lachlan Shaw in 1753).

He was elected to Parliament for Nairnshire and Ross-shire in 1708 until 1710, then for Nairnshire between 1734 and 1741. ^[2]

He died in May 1755.

Family

He married twice; firstly to Elizabeth Grant, eldest daughter of Ludovic Grant, 8th of Freuchie and 1st of Grant and Janet Brodie, daughter and only child of Alexander Brodie of Lethin, ^[3] on 15 January 1704 according to the peerage.com. He died in May 1755. They had children:

• Hugh Rose, b. 12 Jul 1705, d. 26 Nov 1772; initially of Geddes, the eventual heir.
• Ludovic Rose.
• Janet Rose.

Elizabeth died c. 1713.

He married, likely c. 1718, secondly Jean Rose, eldest daughter of John Rose of Braidley. ^[4] It is worth noting that thepeerage.com suggests her name was Jane and her father was Hugh Rose, 10th of Broadley.^[5]although it acknowledges on his page^[6] that his name "was also known as John Rose". We can have some certainty, with the author alive at the time and knowing the person, that the family historian is likely to have been more accurate.

To add more credibility to the information, he purchased a house in Nairn at his marriage and bought the lands of Braidley that were contiguous to that town. He lived at Nairn until his father died in 1732 when he moved his family to the estates at Kilravock. However, as soon as his son, Hugh, married, in 1739, he returned to Nairn where he typically spent winter. He acquired a property and build a manor at Coulraonie in the parish of Arclach, upon the banks of the river Findhorn, where he typically spent summer. ^[7]

During the Jacobite rising of 1745/46, on 14 April 1746, Hugh Rose entertained Charles Edward Stuart at Kilravock Castle. At the same time Prince William, Duke of Cumberland occupied the Rose's town house in Nairn.

His children with Jean were: ^[8]

• John Rose;
• George Rose;
• Margaret Rose, d. 1 Aug 1759, married Joshua Mackenzie, M.D.;
• Henrietta Rose, d. Sep 1795, married 21 Oct 1749, to Sir William Dunbar of Westfield;^[9]
• Anne Rose, married 13 Jan 1753, to Sir Harrie Munro of Fowlis;
• Jean Rose, married, in September 1756, to Ross of Kindess, Alexandrina and Charlotte.
